The File of Life card enables medical personnel to obtain a quick medical history when the patient is unable to provide it. The card has room to list the patient's name, emergency medical contacts, insurance policy and social security numbers, health problems, medications, allergies, recent surgeries, doctor's name and a health care proxy. The entire pack is held by a magnet to the outside of the refrigerator. Emergency response personnel have been trained to look for a File of Life when responding to medical emergencies.

In addition to the File of Life for the refrigerator, a compact version is also available for a person to carry in a wallet or purse. A card containing the same medical information is enclosed in a plastic case that can be carried with the person at all times. This personal wallet size version is an invaluable resource to emergency medical teams responding to critical, life threatening situations away from the home.
